More reviews for 'Rage' (3rd book)

Yes, there are still some people who haven't read the first chapters of my 3rd book 'Rage'...
Here are a few more bits of reviews :-)

I'm usually not a fan of this kind of writing, but I must admit you've got funny moments, e.g. the strange title on the book in chapter 1, the daily life of God in chapter two, and the 'could watch a dog grow' in chapter 3 (the chapters were so short that I read three of them). So congratulations - you made me laugh!
I couldn't really find any technical errors other than some commas out of place, and that's easily fixed.
I liked that the chapters were so short, cause it made me continue. All the other chapters on this side are so freakishly long that I eventually just skim through them to get to the point, so well done with that, haha!
Keep up the good work!

Anybody who likes Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett (and there are a lot of them around) will love this book. I actually read three chapters as they are so short...

I liked the humour – the ‘comfy fluffy slippers’ and the squirrels...

A few silly riddles+ writing again 2

I re-visited jottify.com after a few months out, there wasn't much happening, except the usual guys writing the usual stuff. I added a few silly riddles I write way back in early 2011 before I wrote my books.
If you want to see them on the website to help my views, here are the links...

Yep, I'm writing another novelette ATM for a competition in October. I should be able to finish it before the end of that month. It's about a fallen angel who's lost his memory and all the monkeys think he's lost his mind, until he realises he's been receiving emergency calls from another angel. He helps him escape, but the ending isn't all so rosy...

Writing again...

Although I have a million things to do, I've started writing again. A little seed of a story is growing in my head. It's so small, I have no detailed idea where it'll go. I have a general idea, but I think it'll be similar to the new novelette in terms of POV, but maybe 2 rather than 1, with the 2 main characters' thinking. Hobgoblins, of course, and a few angels.
Watch this space...(as you do, something might happen sometime, there's always a chance...)

My preference...

I've had to read a few short stories for a course recently, some classics from Woolf, Forster and DH Lawrence. All three were fantastic, though a acquaintence said otherwise (of course).
Woolf's 'The Mark on the Wall' is so good...but not my preference. I found it way too 'greasy', if I had written something in that style...I did, many years ago, and I deleted it. I couldn't read it, I couldn't 'see' myself in it. Woolf is damn good, though.
EM Forster's 'Road from Colonus', now there's a great thing. Still, not my preference, a little too 'smooth', but fantastic back story of Greek tragedy gone wrong due to non-awareness of others.
Now, DH Lawrence 'The Rocking-Horse Winner'...much more my thing in terms of style, though it felt quite dated with the language, and so so predictable. Terrible endline, too, but a great story of a well-to-do family living on hard times.
So, my preference? I read a few chapters of my 3rd book after reading these. Isn't it great when you like your own stuff? Sometimes I think where did it all come from? How did I do that? And my new novelette...still waiting on some 'reaction' from the competition. Probably nothing - who goes for comedy fantasy?
Of course, my writing style is NOTHING compared to these GIANTS in literature, but this shows I'm such a fussy reader. I bow to their memory.

Surfing, a few surprises

Well, I went surfing, and I found myself on...

Moly (Bethlehem Fiasco)
And here, they've used a quote from my 2nd book 'The Bethlehem Fiasco', to head the page!
"Is there a right end of a camel for your head to be in?"
I think that's amazing. There are some really nice pictures of camels too :-)

Guide to 'Rage' 5 - Euristhos, Euryales and Iolus

Japan and Sri Lanka, Hello! Japan is definitely a new hit :-)
Euristhos, Euryales and Iolus - the fallguys.
There has to be someone to do the dirty work, there has to be someone who you can rely on to be stupid.
Iolus is the boss, he gets his orders from Plagamus and does as he's told, hoping in the end for some glory and profit.
Euristhos and Euryales are the stupid twins. Euryalesis the stupidest, there's even a scene where his head is so empty that the music from his walkman is louder in a room when he's wearing it...the empty space amplifies the sound.
In 'Man by a tree', it was the two following hobgoblins, Sniff and Grint. In 'Bethlehem Fiasco', it was the three thieves, and in 'Rage of Atlantis', it's these guys. Read what happens to them, they are a core to the whole action....they ARE the action.

Guide to 'Rage' 4 - Kang Dee

Kang Dee is the sole 'alien' in the Atlantean society who has some power, due to her ancestral right of command over the Letherians (huge monsters of the sea). Her race, the dolphins, represent every type of prejudiced group which ever existed: skin colour, cultural difference, disability. Saying this, it is the dolphin race who not only holds the answer to humanity's problem (the lack of intelligence in human DNA) but they also survive the 'rage' of God to de-evolve into the lovable rogues we know today. I could go on about prejudice, etc. but hey, it's late.
It's really surprising who reads this blog. Not much interest, but what there is, is spread right across the globe :-) Thanks.
If you can, get a hold of 'Rage of Atlantis', you just might like it.
